Well driving I notice a car without brake lights on stopped in front of me not moving. Quickly going to brake.. I had no brakes I pushed again and turned right. Almost inches to hitting a gas pump. Thankfully bumps and bruises . I was renting the vehicle from indiana driving to new hampshire to florida. I almost lost my life. I also got charged an extra rental day since I was told to await a call. I'm not sure who's at fault whether it is a master cylinder problem or bolt in steering. Please help me. I have been stuck in fla not able to get home. I feel this should be checked into.*dt*dt

Brake pedal goes to the floor occasionally while applying the brakes to come to a stop. Had nissan perform a brake system flush and still have the problem. They asked about changing out the master cylinder and the way that they asked made me believe that they might know of a problem with this year and make of car. I checked up to see if there was a recall and noticed an investigation is in progress for this problem. This problem happens in street traffic or highway when trying to slow or stop the vehicle and is intermittent in nature and still occurs after the brake flush to remove any air in the system.
